I’m working on a block code tutorial in Norwegian for the “chase the dot” game on the Micro:Bit.
I’ve run into a slight problem.
In one of my hints, I’m calling for a function that isn’t defined in the hint itself, making the rendered block show as a gray JavaScript block.
I know that the function has to be defined in the hint code to counter this, but I have no idea how to do this without including and rendering the whole function block. It’s fairly straight forward to do this with variables, and I assume it can be done with functions as well?
_This is the JavaScript for the blocks I’m trying to render:_
let bytte: game.LedSprite = null
bytte = game.createSprite(2, 2)
let jeger = game.createSprite(0, 0)
bytte.set(LedSpriteProperty.Blink, 3)
jeger.set(LedSpriteProperty.Brightness, 5)
// @highlight
NyRunde()
game.startCountdown(10000)
_NyRunde is the function that starts a new round (ny runde = new round).
I could include the whole function:_
function NyRunde () {
```
bytte.set(LedSpriteProperty.X, randint(0, 4))
bytte.set(LedSpriteProperty.Y, randint(0, 4))
if (!(bytte.isTouchingEdge())) {
NyRunde()
}
```
}
_But that would include a lot more code than I’d like to show as a hint. Adding an empty function block looks even worse, in my opinion, since the followers of this tutorial will already have built the function before this step._
Does anyone know how to define a function in a tutorial hint without showing the function?

Ahh, unfortunately this isn’t currently possible in our tutorial/blocks system ☹ Please feel free to file a [feature request](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade/issues/new/choose) on Github, this seems like a super useful thing for us to add!

Wow! Your response time is really impressive! 😃
And thanks! I’ve filed a feature request on GitHub. 🙂
